We need to be honest with ourselves about what

we really want; it is the key to gaining clarity and creating a

personal vision for our lives. –Ayanna Jordan, Founder, The Phoenix Rising Collective  

         

 The  Fullness  of  Me  Intentional  Living  Guide  is  a  comprehensive  life-­‐mapping  tool  to  support  your  commitment  to  goal  setting  and  manifesting  a  purpose-­‐filled,  intentional  life.      The  Fullness  of  Me  (FOM]  exercise  helps  you  chart  the  course  of  personal  and  professional  goals,  as  a  significant  part  of  being  self-­‐love  in  action  is  taking  responsibility  for  your  choices  so  that  you  strengthen  your  ability  to  manifest  what  you  really  want  and  open  up  opportunities  that  are  in  alignment  with  who  you  are.      About The Fullness of Me Diagram There  are  six  inspiration  blocks  that  create  the  FOM  diagram:  1)  Personal/Spiritual  Development  2)  Health  &  Wellness  3)  Financial  Prosperity  4)  Career  5)  Relationships/Support  6)  Education/Professional  Development.  You’ll  notice  the  blocks  are  all  connected  in  the  diagram,  as  each  supports  the  other  to  make  up  The  Fullness  of  YOU.    Love,  Balance,  Happiness,  and  Peace  are  four  core  principles  we  all  desire  and  deserve  and  are  also  represented  in  and  connected  to  the  six  inspiration  blocks.  Your  clarity  and  honesty  about  what  you  want  in  the  six  FOM  areas  will  make  room  for  these  principles  in  your  daily  life.    

Instructions: Let’s Get Started! (FYI:  Please  take  your  time.  Be  patient  and  gentle  with  yourself  throughout  the  process;  the  goal  is  to  gain  clarity  and  be  honest  about  the  life  you  want  to  live.)    Step  1.  Your  name  goes  in  the  center  space  of  the  diagram      Step  2.  In  each  of  the  six  inspiration  blocks  provided  in  the  diagram  (personal/spiritual  development,  health  +  wellness,  financial  prosperity,  etc)  list  the  areas  that  are  important  to  creating  your  personal  definition  of  having  a  fulfilling  life,  the  life  you  envision.  Remember,  you  create  your  experiences  so  be  honest  about  what  you  want.  You  can  list  as  many  things  as  you’d  like.  This  is  not  a  race  to  completion  but  a  tool  to  support  clarity  of  purpose  and  to  outline  your  goals  +  intentions.  (See  the  example  diagram  on  the  next  page.)    Step  3.    On  each  of  the  journal  pages  that  represent  the  six  blocks  answer  the  questions  provided.  This  is  your  chance  to  be  specific  about  the  actions  you  will  take  to  manifest  what  you’ve  listed  in  your  six  inspiration  blocks.    Step  4:  After  completing  your  guide,  keep  it  in  a  place  where  you  will  reference  it  often.  This  demonstrates  your  commitment  to  taking  action,  to  creating  experiences,  and  to  embracing  opportunities  that  are  in  alignment  with  your  guide.    BONUS:  Create  a  vision  board  from  your  diagram.  It’s  an  awesome  way  to  creatively  reinforce  and  visualize  what  you’ve  listed  in  your  inspiration  blocks!

Personal /Spiritual Development

“Ultimately, to sustain passion we need some kind of spiritual practice that helps us cultivate a strong center. Prayer, meditation, yoga, solitude, time in nature – regardless of the form your spiritual practice takes, it is essential to sustaining your passion…In fact, your spiritual practice is the most powerful tool you have for staying healthy – mentally, emotionally, and spiritually – amid the enormous stress and complexity of passionate work.”

-Gail Straub

 

What personal/spiritual practices would you like to further develop to become a better you? To maintain balance and harmony? For example: prayer, meditation, etc. List them and the ways you’d like to make them a part of your daily life.

Health & Wellness

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”

-Jim Rohn

What does it mean to take care of your physical health? What does being physically well consist of for you? Be specific. What type of exercise and/or food choices will help you sustain wellness? What support do you need to push forward with your health goals?  

Financial Prosperity What steps can you take now that will lead to your financial prosperity? What does financial prosperity look like to you? What must you stop doing that might impede reaching your goals? Be specific about your monthly and annual goals? How will your talents, skills, and abilities support financial abundance?

Affirmation: My skills, talents, creativity, and abilities provide extraordinary

opportunities that fulfill my financial needs and create

financial growth and prosperity.

-The Phoenix Rising Collective

“Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the

foundation for all abundance.”

-Eckhart Tolle

Career What does having a successful career look like for you? What opportunities will/can you take advantage of that align with your vision? Are there changes that you need to make to “set the wheels in motion?” For example: research starting a business; outline your career goals; connect with others in your field.

“When I first declared my desire to work in a loving environment,

friends acted as though I had truly lost my mind. To them, love and work did not go together. But

I was convinced that I would work better in a work

environment shaped by an ethic of love. Today, as the Buddhist concept of “right livelihood” is more widely understood, more people embrace the belief that

work that enhances our spiritual well-being strengthens our

capacity to love. And when we work with love we create a loving

working environment.”

-bell hooks

Relationships/Support Here’s your chance to get clear about the relationships you want to have; this includes friends, significant others, co-workers/business partners - and even your relationship with yourself! What kind of support do you need? Imagine what your support systems look like; how do they make you feel; what do they offer?

“It is imperative that we as women today find the collective

still points that return us to wholeness through community

and connection.”

-Ellen Wingard

Education/ Professional Development

What additional knowledge and skill-sets do you need/want to attain to reach your goals? For example: Is there a degree, certification, and/or license to acquire? Do you want to participate in/attend a specific conference/retreat? Are there books you’d like in your personal library that will support your professional development?

“You don’t have to spend your life in a classroom to be a lifelong learner. There’s nothing wrong with taking a class, but there’s a lot to be learned from the world around you. Read a book, read the paper, browse the web for interesting articles. You can learn a lot from having a conversation with a friend (or a stranger), or even watching something on TV. It doesn’t matter how you choose to learn, just that you do.”

-Whitney McCoy SheKnows.com
